Notes: Leeds 6 started life as an Hull open topper 96 before being enclosed. It later became a works Tram in which condition it was sold to Leeds, renumbered 6 and painted grey - this is the condition it is currently in. After a three year loan at Beamish the tram returned to Heaton Park on 4th April and is currently stored outside in a specially constructed compound. It requires some remedial attention before it can be returned to service. 5 is a 4 wheel open top Stockport tram currently on loan to Heaton Park Tramway from it’s owning group the Stockport 5 Tramcar Trust. 7 is currently on loan from Blackpool Transport, originally in exchange 765. It was formerly Replica Vanguard 619 but now has a new identity following workshop attention and repaint over winter 2010/1. It was officially relaunched into service on Sunday 24th April 2011. The tram is currently stored outside the main Depot with suitable precautions taken and although operational is not available for service. Rawtenstall 23 is stored in various locations within Heaton Park, with the exception of the kickboards which are on Leeds 6. At the Spring Gala 2013 it was announced a major restoration project for the tram will start. L53 Heaton Parks unique Eades reversible horse tram is currently on loan (and on display) at the Bury Transport Museum (part of the East Lancs Railway). 173 is an open top four wheel Manchester tram currently undergoing restoration at Manchester Transport Museum on Boyle street. The car is also on display at this location next to South Lancashire Tramways 65 which is not owned by Heaton Park Tramway. 280 is currently at Blackpool's Rigby Road depot. 623 arrived at Heaton Park on Tuesday 29th November 2011 following a period of storage after the closure of the Museum of Museums.

It is due to be launched into service on Sunday 22nd January 2012. 702 is currently in store. 708 is currently in store. 752 is Heaton Parks only works tram and after helping to complete the new extension has gone into temporary storage.. 765 is Operational in the Park.
